The OFC exhibit floor brings the full optical ecosystem together in one place, giving attendees the opportunity to evaluate solutions side by side and connect directly with the teams turning ...
Once a month or so, I have the privilege of sitting down with Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams to record the Hackaday Podcast. It’s a lot of fun spending a couple of hours geeking out together, and we ...
Caltech scientists have developed a way to guide light on silicon wafers with low signal loss approaching that of optical fiber at visible wavelengths. This accomplishment paves the way for a new ...
A colorful display of plastic optical fibers Commercial optical fibers generally carry light that’s invisible to the eye. The colorful ones shown here transmit visible light, demonstrating how fiber ...
The recent development in the utilization of flexible optical fiber sensors and the prospective application scenarios were then summarized, which encompass human activity monitoring and healthcare, ...
A new type of optical fiber filled with nothing but thin air has been found to be particularly effective for carrying out quantum key distribution (QKD), a security protocol that is in principle ...
